SENSATIONAL REPORTS.

Somebody in this town is sending out
-foolishly sensational reports to the New
York World and other newspapers about
cyclone scares. The New York World
devotes space in Fridays paper to the
''dense clouds that were seen to gather in
the northwest" and the absurd statement
that "the whole city was filled with alarm;
men rushed home and women tainted. y
Cyclones are very uncertain quantities and
come with very little warning, but the
facts in the case are that Kansas City has
had no indications this spring of anything
worse than an ordinary thunder sterm.-
Kansas City Times.
If you would just tell where the report
comes from it would be sufficient without
any further explanation. That is the rea
son we are keeping before the people that
the story of Wichita being lawless town
originated in Kansas City. The executive
council of this state constitute about the
only collection of individuals in the west
who can be fooled by information coming
from that source

HOME RULE FOR WICHITA.

The management of police affairs Of the

of the regularly constituted municipal
authorities Of these respective cities and
reposed in three state police commissioners.

EAGLE denounces the action of all connect

Whatever other newspapers may have to
say on the subject. the Courier frankly a1
mits that it is with the EAGLE and the peo-
pie of Wichita heart and soul 1t is in
favor of the fullest and most
conplete measure of "home rule. :"

People who favor Home Rule" for Ire

CONSOLATION.

The Leavenworth Times in leading
editorial consoles Wichita on her police
commission and thinks it may eventually
do great good. The Times says:

tally checked aud the good results are
manifest on every hand.
1--WE do not believe the traffice can be
entirely suppressed until more sumptuary
laws are enacted until an iron-clad search
and seizure clause is ingrafted into the
statutes"
These extreme measures may be neces
sary in Leavenworth, but they are not in
Wichita. The people in this city are more
enclined to be law abiding and are perfectly
able to take care of themselves. If Leav
enworth wants metropolitan police WI

will result in any good to the people o

to it. The times recommends butter milk t.

APENNsYlvAN1AN's IMPRESSION
Of Wichita, as Told in His Home Pape

EDITOR MARIETTA TIMEs:-To write
about this wonderful growing city is a
pleasure from the fact that whatever we
say needs no exaggeration. To tell your
readers of the mighty progress and pros
perity of Wichita and of her people in its
full extent would read like fairy tale
The many buildings in course of erection,
the amount of material shipped every day,
the miles Of street railway being laid in all
parts of the city to say nothing of the vast
amount of business and manufacturing en-
terprises that are daily being started, all
tell its own story. Nine enths of her citi-
zens have the most implicit confidence in
the steady onward growth of Wichita.
This confidence is shared by all classes of
people. Their motto is, Together we
stand; divided we fall" A more beautiful
city cannot be found From the center of
the town for two miles you can see some of
the finest residences you ever beheld.
Street railway conveniences are better no
where's. Every one who builds takes no
less than so feet and some take 100 feet, thus
beauty and comfort are insured Jealous
eastern newspapers are raising cry against
the business boom, and claim that it will
soon burst. This would not be very
pleasant, for l have experienced that my
self, but I can assure our eastern friends
the boom in Wichita has for its foundation
the solid rocks, and not sand, so wher
storms come and the rains beat upon it, il
will yet stand Any one who has patience
can invest outside of the city limits and il
five years will be able to quintuple thu
amount invested without any effort on hi
part. 1t is as Joe Coates says: Like :
man falling into the river and coming on
dry. with his boots full of fish"
The crops in this part of the state ar
looking elegant. l never saw corn lool
better and every indication is for a mos
prosperous year for Kansas.
Rome was not built in day nor in
year, nor will Wichita be, but they vii
come nearer to it by great deal than tn
Romans did If all the houses that ar
being built in Wichita this summer wer
connected. they would be called larg
town.
But what is the use of me writing ant
telling your people about the progress o
this country, one half of them won't be
lieve, and the remaining half will say
"Yes, but how about the Indians" Well
the Indians are things of the past, and tn
wonderful tales told about them are o
yore. If any of your people want it'll
recreation, and while taking it wantto Sc
something wonderful, tell them to come t
Kansas. To come to Kansas withou
seeing Wichita will be like the boy whit
went to see the circus and stopped at til,
side show. MORE ANON.

CLAIMING HONOR.

We observe with good deal Of regre,
that few small-minGed and Jealous con
temporaries in Kansas are endeavorng to
rob us of the prestige gained in the late
Wichita emeute. But we expected as
much. and shall go on doing good in oul
quiet, transformations way. For as Mr.
Pope observes in his admirable Essay or
Man."

know
Virtue alone is happiness below.
Kansas City Times
There is no danger that any respectable
paper in this state will rob you of YOU
prestige. They will be unable to SCI
where the honor comes in. The idea of
great paper, such as the Times, organizing
scheme to iniure the good name of thi.
city, and then assume virtuous air ovel
the matter. 1t reminds us of Shakespeare
lines:

1t is no longer question as to whether
one can reach Dighton by rail or not. The
road is completed and daily trains running
into the city and they will have telegraph
communication in few days. And when
they were told that they were going to get
the Wichita EAGLE the same day it was
published you ought have seen that broad
smile which came over the countenance OF
four fifths of the business men Of Dighton.
Some would say that is that man Marsh
Murdock's paper isn't it? And Others
would say yes, they wanted it, for they had
heard of it as being pure Kansas paper
and one whose editor was always glad to
get and publish any news from any town
in the state of Kansas, in which the people
by the sweat of their brow are working
for the upbuilding of this glorious state OF
Kansas. Dighton is beautifully located on
the c., K. s. W. branch of the SAINTS
Fe and is known as the Great Bend ex
tension. The Dighton people undoubtedly
deserve great credit for the manner
in which they are working in building the
city. And we would just remark that al
we could possibly say would not begin tt
tell of its beauty and many advantages sur
rounded by her thousands and thousand!
of acres of as pretty land as any one woult
wish to settle upon. Dighton is the towr
for good paying investments for there is nc
county seat question, and aside from thai
there is no question at all at the present
but that the land office will be moved there
from Wakeena. And then watch hel
boom. And tell me if you please where
will you find town tina
can offer such inducements?
Lots are selling close in for from SIS tt
s., 900 that when the land office is located
there will sell readily for four hundred
dollars. The Santa Fe people are going t.
put in a new depot at Dighton, one tina
will be credit to any line of railroad
There is one of the finest hotels at Dightol
in the state; it is elegantly furnished al
through. Mr.. F. G. Wier is the genia
landlord. 1t wouldn't take us long to tel
the snide business men of the town, but i
would take us great while 10 enumeratt
the live, wide awake merchants and othel
business men Of Dighton.
And now our final say.is that Dighton i:
the most law-abiding, peaceable western
town that we make in our travels any
where, and that any one looking for {
good place to invest or to live and do bust
ness in should not only take our word, bu
go and look the grounds over for them
selves.
Many thanks to Colonel Prouty fol-
favors shown us while in the city.

THE WHEAT MARKET.

The EAGLE called its readers attention
to an article going the rounds of the press.
credited to the Prairie Farmer, to the effect
that strong combination of capitalists
were buying all the wheat in our leading
markets with the belief that higher prices
would prevail in the near future. We
then gave it as our opinion that the move
ment was merely specializing scheme and
that the holders. of July wheat would per
haps be compelled to unload on declining
market. At least there was no reliability
to be placed upon any information which
the Prairie Farmer could obtain from the
men who were attempting to manipulate
the grain markets. Tuesdays market in
Chicago confirmed our belief that the
Prairie Farmer knew nothing whatever of
the inside arrangements of the clique who
have control of the Chicago grain market.
A decline of 20 cents per bushel on June
wheat in one day is proceeding that
changes dollars from one mans pocket to
that of another, and makes men
mi1ionaiers of paupers in
remarkable short time. A very large
number of people are of the opinion that
these combinations are very injurious to
the country. We do not see any difference
SO far as morality is concerned in speculat-
ing in grain, or any other class of prop
erty. Neither do we believe, taken as a
whole, that these speculations in grain and
other produce of the farm, injure the
farmer. 1t is very difficult thing to
hold the grain market below point JUST
fed by the supply and demand that
govern the markets of the world. We
think the markets are much more fire.
quently kept higher by combinations hold
ing produce off the markets and in this
way beneftting the farmer. If the large
amount of wheat thrown on the Chicago
market has pressed it too low, it will
only be few days when the
reaction will come, and settle
at a legitimate point. There is now very
large amount of wheat in the leading mar
kets of the world, but the opinion prevails
that there is less old wheat now in the
hands of farmers than any former year, at
this time. The future markets will depend
entirely on the amount of wheat harvested
in the northwest this year. While the
wheat is matured in this country up to the
thirty ninth parallel, the sections in which
the large crops of spring wheat are grown
will not mature for sixty days yet and
what the harvest will be there, is impossi-
BILE to tell now The best information OBJ
tainable does not now indicate that there
will be an unusually large crop of wheat
raised in the world this year. We do not
think the prospect particularly discourag-
ing to Kansas farmers at this time.
